If you can go on a weekday between opening and 3 or 4 pm, then you'll avoid the lines. Come with a plan to minimize wandering. The website is your friend.
It's my favorite place! You find such good deals! Just watch what you buy because something's are a better quality then others. I've always shopped carefully and my stuff has lasted me years and years
We love picking out furniture and other household items we need. Sometimes they have a special where your receipt from the food court will be taken off your in-store purchases.
Its fun to check out all of the living space set ups they have. The food is good here too. You can eat and watch the airplanes take off and land across the turnpike at Newark Airport.
IKEA is where relationships go to die. That being said, this place is humongous (even by Ikea's standards), has a plethora of guilt inducing snacks and was NOT crowded on a Sat late afternoon. :-)
I have never seen so many out of control children in one spot in my whole life. Also merchandise is difficult to find w/o walking though the whole store. Obvious marketing tactic.
These guys for everything they can to prevent you from calling directly the 908 number below and getting real help. Keep hitting "0" and you will eventually get through!
Stay away from this store. The only reason I went was because Paramus was closed but never again. I never had a bad experience with ikea until I went to this store. Customer service is horrible.
Swedish Meatballs <3 plus there are a lot of great deals there! Prepare to spend a whole day there if you are planning on getting everything for your room!
Home deliveryline takes forever. There's only 1-2 employees manning it whether it's a weekday or weekend. Prepare to stand on line for at least 30 minutes!
Two smoke breaks, waited in line for food, ate the food, and used the bathroom before my Full Serve headrest was ready for pick up. I didn't mind the wait, might not be the same for everyone else.
Soft drinks have absolutely NO carbonation! I asked if they could change the canister and they said no - it's a known problem with their setup. Enjoy drinking syrup water :-(
Make sure your box is not damaged. If it is, there's a high likelihood that the furniture inside is damaged. Save yourself a trip back to the returns section with it's long wait times.
